Good morning everyone!

How are you all feeling today?  Check-in with your family and say how you are all feeling and why.

Here is the new home learning grid.  It is a bit different as it is the last 2 weeks of term 🙂  Home Learning Grid 6

Here is the attachment for the Bug Hotel (from the new grid):

Literacy – Writing

I hope you all had a good weekend even though the weather wasn’t great.  I went for a few long walks and made chocolate fairy cakes with my daughter. She loved them! What did you get up to?  Can you write your weekend news to tell me?  Remember your writing targets.

Punctuation  CL    .    !    ,

Openers     At the weekend…..     Yesterday…    On Saturday…..

Connectives (joining words)   and    but       so      because

Descriptive language     adjectives (describing words)

Maths – Position and Movement

This week we will be practising describing journeys using words:

forwards           backwards              left          right            turn       half turn                  quarter turn       clockwise          anti-clockwise

Have a look at this website to remind yourself:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zbtp34j/articles/zrnjjhv

In your home or garden, work with someone you live with to practise describing and following directions.  Put a few obstacles on the floor or ground, and direct them from one end of the room to another. You could make something the ‘treasure’ and place it in different places to direct them to!

For example:

Forward 3 steps…turn left ( quarter turn anticlockwise)….forward 4 steps……turn right (quarter turn clockwise)…forward 5 steps…TREASURE!

If you would like some more practise with coordinates from last week, here are some games to try:

Good morning boys and girls,

Today Jigsaw jack today wants to know about things we like the feel of and things we don’t.

Below is a picture of people holding hands. How do you feel about holding hand? When and with who?

We all feel differently about holding hands. Some of those like the feeling of holding hands with our friends or parents/carers, some of us don’t like holding hands with people we don’t know very well. All these feelings are ok.

Can you think of textures do like the feel of? What textures do you not like the feel of?

Jigsaw jack would like you to think about how you would greet these different people

Friends

Family

Teachers

Different types of greetings are acceptable or not in different situations and it is ok to say no.

In your jotter can you draw a picture of your most favourite person to hug.

Have a great weekend, speak to you on Monday

Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia

Health and Wellbeing

Natural object meditation

Hold the object – e.g. a shell, pebble or piece of fruit – in your cupped hands. Is it heavy or light, warm or cool? Is it smooth, bumpy or rough. What colours can you see? Gaze at the patterns, colours and textures in the object and appreciate its beauty.

Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Good afternoon boys and girls,

Last week you were asked to make your own clock using stones and sticks. This week you are going to do some more work to practise telling the time.

Try to work out which time each clock is, you can write it down or you could discuss this at home with an adult 🙂

Have a lovely day

Miss Beaton and Mrs Melia

Good morning Primary 1,

Hope you are all well.

For Literacy this morning we would like you to use your blending skills to solve this code breaker,

For Science, Mr McCrudden would like you to watch this film and make a launcher using junk around the house. You will need a grown up to help you. Remember to ask a grown up before using it in the house just in case.

Pop back later for some more activities,

Literacy

I hope you enjoyed yesterdays story, today we are going to complete activities based on the story Commotion in the Ocean.  Please listen to the story and then choose 3 activities to complete in your jotter.

Throughout the story, new sea creatures are introduced using short rhyming poems. Can you create your own poem for a sea creature of your choice?

There are many different types of sea creature in the story. Which of the sea creatures is your favourite, and why?

There are facts about each of the sea creatures hidden within the poems. Can you choose a sea creature from the story to research and make a fact file about it?

If you could have one of the sea creatures special features or skills for a day, what would you choose, and why? (for example would you have 8 arms or be able to swim underwater for a really long time?)

See if you can invent your own sea creature and then draw a picture of it. What features would it have? Would it have any special skills?
